The Business NSW team were part of thousands who attended the Bondi to Manly Ultra on Saturday. Starting at the famous Bondi Pavilion, the run follows the 80km Bondi to Manly walking track around Sydney Harbour. Business NSW has been sponsoring the event for the past two years, and was honoured to have two teams involved. Runners also cooled off at the end of the race in one of our ice baths. #TeamBNSW Johnson & Johnson The Running Room - Physio & Podiatry Pace Athletic @Hyro Northern Beaches Council Waverley Council Manly Pacific Sydney MGallery Collection David Harding Join Business NSW: https://lnkd.in/girkVSXu

Our state’s businesses might well get a fairer go when it comes to winning government contracts after a NSW Parliamentary committee released its final report into procurement. Business NSW’s Executive Director David Harding and Head of Policy Mustafa Agha appeared at the hearings earlier this year, calling on the NSW Government to break up large tenders into more manageable parts to enable smaller businesses to bid for them, as well as recommending a number of practical commercial measures to enable this to happen. We are pleased that the committee has recommended the significant changes to government, as well as endorsing the BNSW suggestion that small businesses get greater support to develop capacity, skills and expertise to win government contracts. Business NSW has been on this campaign for two years and will continue to stay close to the conversation. Last year, more than 130,000 businesses provided goods and services to the NSW Government, totalling about $42 billion. SMEs hold an $8 billion share, but we’re actively working with the government to boost that to at least $10 billion. This is a huge opportunity to use this more efficiently, and build capability and capacity in our SME economic foundations. The priority needs to be business doing what they do best - serving their customers. Plus, the taxpayers of NSW getting great local goods and services. Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/gMYymzt9

The power of women to unlock the nation’s economic potential was on full display last night at the Women in Leadership event at Business NSW’s Sydney HQ. Federal Finance Minister, Women and the Public Service Katy Gallagher was the guest of honour. Ms Gallagher discussed the Federal Government’s Future Made in Australia economic plan and the importance of females stepping into managerial roles to make that happen. Ms Gallagher also discussed the government’s program to encourage female entrepreneurship. Business NSW membership is 57% female, with the fastest growing cohort of business owners being women under 45. Apart from the desire to run their own business, many women are also looking to use owning a business as a platform into mid-career corporate roles. The event also featured contributions from ACCI CEO Andrew McKellar, Business NSW Executive Director David Harding and Business NSW Executive Director, Regional NSW and The Visitor Economy Paula Martin. Special thanks to sponsor ANZ and attendees including former NSW premier and senator The Hon Kristina Keneally Keneally, Aware Super Chair Christine McLoughlin AM and CEO Deanne Stewart, Governance Institute of Australia CEO Megan Motto 😊 Motto, Australian Retailers Association CEO Paul Zahra, Workplace Gender Equality Agency CEO Mary Wooldridge and Member Relations and Head - NSW at Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) Helen Waldron
